Robert Breckinridge McAfee (February 18, 1784 – March 12, 1849) was a Kentucky politician, and was the seventh Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky serving from 1824 to 1828.

McAfee was born on February 18, 1784 in Mercer County, Kentucky, and was orphaned in 1795 after his father was killed in New Orleans, Louisiana. McAfee was made a General in the United States Army during the War of 1812 and commanded a troop raised by order of Gen. Andrew Jackson, that took part in the Battle of New Orleans.

Following his military service, he lived in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and entered state politics. He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives prior to 1824, when he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. He cast a tie-breaking vote that prevented the abolition of the "New Court" during the Old Court-New Court controversy in 1825. President Andrew Jackson then named him Chargé d'affaires to New Granada, which he served from 1833 to 1837.
